Minor Modification – MIM 25-047 to M-2 68-5

This minor modification, identified as MIM 25-047 to M-2 68-5, involves a project by McWane Plant & Industrial to install an airless spin head applicator system at their facility located at 25500 Road 204, Exeter, California. The primary purpose of this installation is to apply a ceramic epoxy lining to the interior surfaces of metallic products, such as pipes, valves, and fittings, to prevent corrosion. This project is a modification of a previously approved 1968 resolution that established a foundry and metal fabrication industry on a 33.0-acre site within the M-2 Heavy Manufacturing Zone. The work is classified as maintenance and minor alterations to existing private structures and mechanical equipment, and it does not involve the expansion of existing uses or the addition of new structures. The Tulare County Resource Management Agency serves as the lead agency for this project. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 for Existing Facilities, the project has been issued a Notice of Exemption because it consists of minor alterations that are consistent with the Tulare County Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. The project site is specifically located in Section 25, Township 195, Range 26E, on the east side of Road 204, approximately 661 feet south of Avenue 256. While the documentation provides comprehensive details regarding the scope of work, location, and environmental exemption, specific financial terms, contract values, and pricing schedules are not provided.
